Text Effects is the fastest way to animate 3D text in Blender!

Text Effect allow you to build complex font animation without maths or key frames. AlI you need is to apply your favorite effect to your text (as typewriter, wave, wiggle, randomize...) and get your animation done.

Text Effect is built around the concept of preset and reusable template. So any existing text in your scene can be converted to animation, any text Fx can be replaced, duplicated and shared.
